I agree.BIOGRAPHY FROM *35y/iiv*^ RECORDS SLY AND THE FAMILY STONE Sly And The Family Stone, Epic's exciting new recording group, was formed a little over a year ago in San Francisco. Since that time the group, which is comprised of seven talented and exuberant young musicians, has appeared in major clubs and concert halls in Las Vegas, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco. Upcoming are engagements at the Avalon Ballroom, the Fillmore Auditorium, New York's Town Hall, the Apollo Theatre, Generation and the Grande Ballroom. The group was organized by Sly Stone who, although only in his early twenties, has achieved notable success in the pop music world as a writer (Mojo Man" and "The Swim"), as a producer (the Beau Brummels, The Mojo Men, Bobby Freeman and other artists on the Autumn label) and as a disc jockey on the top rhythm-and- blues station in San Francisco. Of the group's initial organization, guitarist Freddie "Pyhotee" Stone (Sly's brother) recalled, "We all got together in the basement of Sly's house. It seemed like a little miracle the way we all got together: it was as if fate had a hand in the situation."
